From the Reno Gazette Journal: It's been more than three decades since the puzzling case of the
Zodiac Killer unfolded and now a former California Highway Patrol
officer is unmasking in his new book who he believes the killer is.
In
"The Zodiac Killer Cover-up, AKA The Silenced Badge," Lyndon Lafferty,
79, lays out 40 years of evidence to build an accusation that a
91-year-old recovering alcoholic and Fairfield, Calif., resident was
the Zodiac Killer.
"This was a story that I inherited. I
did not ask for it," Lafferty told ABC News. "I am the only person who
can testify under oath that these things were absolutely true. My
satisfaction is telling my story as it happened."...
The Zodiac killings, which occurred in the late 1960s in and around
San Francisco, got their name from the suspect's use of zodiac symbols
as his signature on letters with cryptic messages to local newspapers.
While the killer claimed he took the lives of 37 people, authorities
were only able to link the suspect to five murders.
Lafferty
said the Zodiac killer's rage was driven by jealousy after he found his
wife having an affair. As for why he's coming out with his story 40
years later, he said the case was ignored by several police agencies
and repressed by a judge who Lafferty claims was having an affair with
the suspect's wife.
